Debian Wheezy Logging Issues – No More Logging After Upgrade

debian-wheezyloggingsyslog

Syslog, auth.log, kern.log and messages log files are not updated anymore after upgrading to Debian Wheezy (Debian Squeeze was previously running).

How could I fix it?

I figured the exact issue has been encountered by other Debian users (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=104049).

To restore logging, one just needs to reinstall a syslog daemon (similar to the one that had been removed during upgrade), for example:

apt-get install inetutils-syslogd
